Proton recently confirmed to members of the media that it is launching (at least) three new models in 2025. Though the national carmaker didn’t explicitly mention the models that are coming – revealing only the platforms – it’s possible we’re looking at the Saga MC3, X50 facelift, and either the e.MAS 3 or e.MAS 5; maybe even both.

Looking at the overall design of the phone, it does look pretty darn thin. Unfortunately, beyond showing off samples of the Galaxy S25 Edge at the event, Samsung did not share any specifications of the slim device.

TNG eWallet just introduced a new feature dubbed SOS Balance. As its name suggests, it allows users to pass through tolls even if they don’t have enough balance, so less folks will be stuck at tolls now. While it’s quite a convenient feature, it has only been enabled for “loyal TNG eWallet users” at the moment. To check if SOS Balance is enabled on your TNG eWallet account, just tap on the car icon at the top of the screen on the home page of the app.
